Test LDAP User Info

Version 4.0.24.16

Test the user authentication settings for an LDAP configuration without authenticating the user.

This test will let you easily test the mapping for user properties and roles for any user withoutneeding to authenticate as that user.

This test accepts a full LDAP configuration along with a username and attempts to find the full infofor the user from the LDAP server without actually authenticating the user. So, user password is notrequired.The configuration is validated before attempting to contact the server.

test_ldap_user is required.

The active LDAP settings are not modified.

Calls to this endpoint may be denied by Looker (Google Cloud core).
